4 reviews for Marshall's Pasties
I wasn't ever a fan of pasties until I had Marshall's pasties. This place is so tiny (squished between a hair salon and library, across and on the same side of the street as the Del Oro theatre) I'd never even seen it before my fiance started raving about it one day. He goes in often as he works nearby and I go in often as I love their amazing pasties. They've perfected the crust-- it's flakey and tender without falling apart. All their fillings are heavy and generous (never a mostly-crust, partially filled thing...) and they all have excellent flavor. I was originally turned waay of to pasties because I had a lesser-made one elsewhere that had this really strange and unidentifiable flavor...to this day I have no idea what it could be but thankfully Marshall's just taste like the delicious meat, potatoes and veggies they're filled with. They serve them with ketchup and/or malt vinegar. I think $4.95 for a large one (get the large, it's worth it and they're not really that big).
Also...try the apple with topping heated up. So. Amazingly. Yummy.
I Live within walking distance to this and another local pastie place. I love Marshall's! It doesn't try to be a tourist place and my son love LOVES getting a pastie from Marshalls as a treat in his lunch,
I am hooked too. So good! I tried to make my own, but it didn't work out. I'll be buy to fill the freezer before back to school!
After spending an evening at the Cornish Christmas in Grass Valley, I stopped here and check out this so call "pasties" after some friends told me the historical aspect of this food. I gave the beef pasties a try and could almost imagine the miner's with their lunch pail warmed by a candle with the pasties, tea and a saffron bun deep in the mines surrounding Grass Valley. It was a bit salty but delicious. I will try it again when I find myself back here.
Pasties in general were always kind of meh to me until one day, I was walking down Mill Street with a friend at lunch time and we decided to get some food. It was a very cold day so we were kind of thinking soup, maybe pizza....then we happened to walk by Marshall's, and though I had eaten there in the past and never been blown away, the delicious smell of meat and pie crust wafting onto the street was irresistible. We squeezed inside (I mean literally squeezed...the place is TINY) and ordered two beef pasties and while they heated them up for us we decided we'd take them up to the balcony above which is I guess their dining room. As we climbed up the stairs it started to snow, and while we sat and ate our pasties Mill Street became softly blanketed in white and I felt like I had traveled in time back to the 1800s. Everything just looked so... quaint. Nobody else was really out, and those beef pasties with extra ketchup and extra vinegar just tasted so much better than I remembered. This experience could probably only be replicated on such a winter's day, but I encourage any visitors to Grass Valley to give Marshall's a try.
